Revisionary jurisdiction requires an assessment order to be both erroneous and prejudicial to Revenue and cannot merely replace one plausible view with another. Deduction for contributions to a Core Settlement Guarantee Fund required enquiry into whether payment created an accrued business liability or constituted a corpus for potential future defaults.
